Fury was clearly enraged by Haye announcement and took to Twitter on Sunday to criticise his fellow Briton. Mick Hennessy, Fury’s promoter, said the boxer was shocked at the way things panned out with Haye but he is hoping a fight with Wilder can be arranged.

‘We have had talks with Wilder’s people and we are in discussions at the moment but obviously there are a lot of pieces of the jigsaw we need to fit together,’ Hennessy said.

‘We are looking at a number of different options but one thing we do know is that Tyson is one of the biggest draws in world boxing at the moment and as soon as he is ready we will look to get him back in the ring.’
